1920 Briggs & Stratton Flyer

1920 Briggs & Stratton Flyer

Talk about a car lacking oomph. The Briggs & Stratton Flyer looked like a tiny 1920’s go-cart. A fifth wheel, trailing behind the Flyer, carried a one-cylinder engine that provided only two horsepower. At top speed, passengers in the cheap two-seater rode along at only 25 miles per hour.

Going twentyfive miles per hour with a one cylinder engine and two horsepower in the 20’s is not something to criticize, given the cars size! A lot of people need to get over their Masserati’s, Bugatti’s, Porsche’s, Ferrari’s, and Lamborghini’s and realize that cars were not always as cool as they are today.
